Law enforcement officials express concern over Geocaching (Allegedly)

Albuquerque, New Mexico Geocaching

We have not made any sort of announcement, but here at the OCNA blog, we have resolved to post more "Geocaching in the news" content in 2014. Considering the very popular Geocaching blog that normally covers current events (Notaboutthenumbers.com) hasn't been posted to in 4 months, save for a single guest blog post in November. No, we have no idea what's going on over there either. Unfortunately however, we're going to have to ring in 2014 with an absolutely preposterous negative news story on our hobby.

The Oh Beep! Geocaching Podcast interviews HikerJamz


The OH BEEP! Geocaching podcast is a relatively new entry into the Geocaching podcastosphere, having had it's debut on November 9th, 2013. This family friendly Geocaching podcast originates from The UK, and can have as many as four hosts (all from the same Family). Check out their well done website for the show at www.ohbeep.com. The show we are embedding into this post with the HikerJamz interview was the 9th episode, and is hosted by Benign Source (Father) and Doctor D (Son). This episode consists of about a 30 minute segment of their regular weekly show, and about a 34 minute interview with HikerJamz. Be sure to listen to the whole show, it's very entertaining. We obviously have permission to post it here. And we're terrible at keeping secrets, we will be interviewing the OH BEEP! Geocaching Podcast here on the blog in the near future. :-)

Caching up with The Cache Me If You Can! Geoaching Board Game

Cache Me if you can board game

The OCNA blog is about 9 months old now, and we have conducted several interviews; 22, to be exact. Many of those interviewees provide a Geocaching related product or service,  and it didn't take us long to realize that many of them are often developing new products or services, or making "improvements" to existing ones. This is certainly the case with Dan Hundycz, President of DPH Games, maker of The Cache Me If You Can! Geocaching board game. The game was featured in a June 2013 post on this blog. We noticed via ads run on Geocaching.com that the Zombie Apocalypse expansion pack (also known as Zombie Apocalypse Geocaching, or ZAG) was released October 25th, 2013 (just in time for Halloween). We noticed as well that DPH games has greatly increased their visibility, with 14 vendors now selling the game. So we decided to "Cache up" with Dan.
